The FairCom RTG products provide several utilities that you will need. These utilities are located in the same directory as the sample programs.
Utilities for data migration are located in tools\cmdline of your FairCom RTG installation directory.
ctmigra and RTG Migrate - Migrates data into FairCom RTG applications by reading records from an external database and writing them to FairCom RTG files.
The GUI-based migration utility, RTG Migrate, can be found in tools/guitools.java.
Other common utilities are available for various FairCom RTG tasks.
ctutil - A general purpose FairCom RTG file maintenance utility. Use ctutil to examine files, extract data records, change maximum record sizes, and rebuild corrupted indexes. Much of ctutil's functionality is comparable to Vision's vutil utility for a familiar feel for some users, however, many additional FairCom RTG extensions and features have been added.
A pre-configured version of ctutil is provided for each compiler FairCom RTG supports. They are found in the Driver/ctree.cobol/<compiler> folder.
In addition, a multi-user stand-alone DLL / shared library, FPUTFGET, is included with FairCom RTG BTRV.
